Mel B has said that she does not have time to get into shape.

The former Spice Girl, who recently gave birth to third daughter Madison, explained that her hectic schedule on the Australian version of The X Factor led her to turn to weight loss company Jenny Craig for help shedding the baby weight.

Mel B told Woman's Day magazine: "I [used to have] a six pack! I was very lean and fit. [After Madison] I gained a lot of weight. My legs, my butt, my tummy, my arms... it's absolutely everywhere. I was indulging - basking in my pregnancy.

"When you've just had a baby, you want to get back into shape and remember what you felt like nine months ago. Especially working on camera and being in the public eye, you want to feel like you're at your best."

Mel B continued: "For me, doing Jenny Craig was a no-brainer. With my newborn and working nine-hour days on The X Factor, I already have so much to focus on. I just don't have the time to think about losing weight.

"I'll never be a stick insect - I'm a curvy girl with big boobs and a bum. The weight's slowly dripping off, bit by bit, but it's about doing it a healthy way, so it stays off."

Mel B recently said that women are their "own worst enemy", because they "put the pressure on" themselves to lose weight and look good.
